Nonwovens & Technical Textiles
Nonwoven
tailored technologies across every segment of the nonwoven industry – from hygiene and femcare to medical, wipes, and agricultural textiles.
Web Handling
Consistent product quality begins with controlled web dynamics. Our web handling systems for guiding, tension control, and precision cutting are tailored to the diverse characteristics of nonwoven substrates – from lightweight spunbond to multi-layer composites. With advanced sensors, adaptive controls, and rugged mechanics, we ensure smooth processing, high uptime, and reduced waste.

Ideal for artificial leather, industrial and conveyor belts, membranes, and protective fabrics, our technologies help you achieve superior product differentiation through custom textures, matting, or smoothing.
Calender Coating and Specialized Lines
Our calender coating lines set the standard for high-precision technical textile production. Matthews Engineering melt-roll calender systems and specialized combined lines deliver exceptional coating performance for open and closed woven or knitted fabrics.
These solutions are ideal for industrial, architectural, and specialty applications where technical and aesthetic specifications are critical. We integrate embossing, lacquering, and pre-coating stages as needed, enabling seamless production workflows that meet even the most complex requirements.
Dr. Schenk
EasyInspect for nonwoven inspection is a complete solution for the detection of defects in nonwoven materials of many different technologies, such as spundbond, spunlaced, meltblown, composite, wetlaid, airlaid, carded, needlepunched, thermal bond etc. and for many different applications. It examines 100% of the nonwoven surface for local defects.
EasyMeasure continuously monitors the complete material width for a low variation coefficient of the production as regards important properties of nonwoven fabrics, for example material homogeneity, grammage and formation.
Typical tasks in nonwoven production include detection of;
Contamination, Broken filament, False color fiber, Oil stain, Wrinkle, Drop, Coating defect, Streak, Hole.
Dr. Schenk’s histogram evaluation helps to distinguish clearly between regular brightness variations and variations caused by material defects.

Non Woven Fabric
- This is a field in which the elimination of free fibres is essential, not only from reels of material but also from the knives during the operations providing the reduction of the parent reel into strips. ACE has developeda dedicated combined system, consisting of a Contact less cleaner and special caps that enclose the cutting blades, equipped with suction both from the blades themselves and from the counter blades. The high effectiveness of the dedicated filtering units, allows high performance to the system.

Nonwoven winding machines
Nonwoven or fleece – this is the name for a continuous growing range of products which becomes more and more important at many daily applications or within technical processes. Spun bond, melt blown and airlaid paper; these are only a few products which have to be wound as flat webs during production or converting processes.
The selection and layout of the optimum winding machine for each of these production processes is a specialty of SOMATEC. And this is also valid for further processing during converting to short rolls or during slitting to narrow webs.
Production of non-woven materials: Nonwoven edge trims can be hard to handle due to the thin fibers in the material, but with our UT trim cutter we can cut materials below 20 micron
Edge Trim Extraction Systems can Improve Handling and Throughput
A well-designed edge trim system will help ensure that your production machine can run at its best without stops due to edge trim breaks or full trim bins that need to be cleared.
Lundberg Tech has been designing edge trim systems for more than three decades and our team has experience in handling all types of trims – anywhere from ultrathin plastic trims to heavier cardboard trims.
When designing a trim system, we always start with an overview of the type(s) of machines, number of trims, machine speeds, factory layout and the desired destination of the trims.
Trim cutting is essential!
In our opinion cutting the trim is essential for maximum trim handling efficiency. With our high-speed trim cutters, we can cut edge trim up to a whooping speed of 2,500 m/min. When the trim is chopped into small pieces, we can easily transport the cut trim pieces over long distances, which means that the size of your plant is not a limitation in terms of bringing the trims to a collection point anywhere in your facility.
Vacuum based transport saves energy
Cutting the trim also allows us to use vacuum for transporting the chopped trim pieces, this is more efficient than using a trim blower for pushing the trim waste from the machine to the bin. Typically, a vacuum based trim system uses 3-5 times less energy than a Venturi injection-based system. At the same time using vacuum for transport of the trims allow us to place the ventilator away from the production area, hence reducing noise levels and freeing up space on the production floor.
Chopped trim compacts better
When edge trim is cut into smaller pieces it drastically reduces the volume of the waste, uncut edge trim tends to curl up in a big pile – with lots of air between the strings of trim. Confetti size trim pieces will have a higher probability of compacting by itself – and if compacted mechanically in a TrimCompactor or in a stationary compactor it can reduce the volume even more. Compacted trim means a higher density of the trims when transporting for recycling or incineration – reducing the CO2 impact from the transport.
A Lundberg Tech Trim capturing system consists of six important steps
1) Trim Capturing: A dedicated pipe for capturing the trim right where it is generated
2) Trim Cutting: A high-speed trim chopper for cutting the waste into small confetti size pieces
3) Vacuum Conveying: Transport the trim in a dedicated pipe system using one central ventilator positioned aways from the production floor
4) Trim Collection: When the trim reaches its final destination the edge trim and transport air is divided using a separator
5) Trim Compaction: Once the cut trim is collected it needs to be compacted, for easy storage transport
6) Air cleaning: The transport air used in the system should be cleaned using a manual or automatic filter, so that the air can be returned to the production area and help reduce under-pressure and save energy used on cooling or heating the facility
